That tree must be 70 feet tall. About 30 feet taller than any pear tree has a right to be. My property is about 5 miles from the Thomas Jefferson estate, Montichello. In addition to the lone pear tree are two pre Civil War log cabins made of chestnut logs. Your blog about the grafted pear made me wonder if I could graft the big old pear tree. If sucessful I could give starts to all my friends thus perpetuating a really noble old tree whose fruit is exquisite. Thank you for a wonderful blogsite.

They are all pleached (hedges on sticks) and it's amazing how big they've grown in this time as they also were bare rooted.Brabourne Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17001504570826232809noreply@blogger.com
